On Sunday, July 14 at 2 o’clock inside the Mimosa Barn near Cheriton, David Scott will discuss one of Northampton County’s most interesting and popular early settlers, Ensign Thomas Savage. Come and hear the story of this important individual who lived with the Native Americans near Jamestown in the early years of the Virginia Colony. Why was he called “Ensign”? When did he come to the Eastern Shore and how did “Savage Neck” get its name? Who was his wife and was she one of the earliest women to receive a patent for her own land in America? These questions and more will be discussed.
